My journey has brought me here because Oaklanders have to be put first. Out-of-touch politicians and special interests defended Thao's failed leadership urging a NO vote on the recall. Over 80,000 Oaklanders came together and said YES. Now, the same establishment who backed

My heart is breaking for my hometown. 💔 Many Oaklanders lost trust in Mayor Thao a long time ago, but now an FBI raid tied to corruption accusations and her deafening silence in the wake of 15 people shot at Lake Merritt on Juneteenth confirm a complete dereliction of duty.

Today’s statement by @OaklandNAACP regarding crime in #Oakland… “Oakland residents are sick and tired of our intolerable public safety crisis that overwhelmingly impacts minority communities. Murders, shootings, violent armed robberies, home invasions, car break-ins, sideshows,

I’m numb w/ sadness, grief & frustration after hearing of Jen Angel’s death after fighting for he r life in wake of the brutal car break-in/robbery. She made everyone’s life sweeter through her cupcake shop, but here in #Oakland we failed to reciprocate.

Criminals believe they can come to Oakland and get away with crime because police cannot pursue them. That will end on Day 1 of my administration. I introduced my “Smart Pursuit Plan” today alongside business owners, technology and public safety advocates. We must increase the

Oakland is closing fire stations just a week after devastating fires in Los Angeles destroyed entire neighborhoods, and our city is teetering at the edge of bankruptcy. I am outraged. The state of our city and political corruption aren’t two separate issues. They are symptoms

My opponent is relying on D.C. insiders to bankroll her campaign. This is not grassroots. This is a political establishment operation drowning out the will of Oaklanders.

I am honored to have earned @MattMahanSJ’s endorsement today. Mayor Matt Mahan understands what it takes to run against the political establishment and win. The money and insiders were not with him—and they’re not with us in this race. He recognizes that real Oaklanders are with

Just 5 years ago, Oakland was heralded as a national story for hope. Homicides and nonfatal shootings were down 50%, local businesses were booming, and our diverse population was increasing. We can get there again. This upcoming election is one of the most important in

We must reopen city hall and show that Oakland is open for business. Today, I am calling for city leaders to fully open city hall because the current telecommute policy isn’t just hurting our city’s performance and efficiency—it’s hurting our small businesses and downtown

We #Oakland residents have effectively declared the #stateofemergency that our elected officials were unwilling to do. Thank you @GavinNewsom for listening to us and intervening.

So many Oaklanders including this grandmother I met overwhelmingly voted to remove former Mayor Sheng Thao because they knew the city was moving in the wrong direction. My opponent, former Congresswoman Barbara Lee, opposed the recall of Sheng Thao even after the corruption

DEVASTATING. 😢 Rampant crime blamed for closure of fine dining venues in Oakland. We’re losing too much and need greater urgency from Oakland leaders. #NewsBreak newsbreakapp.com/n/0ooJeBzR?pd=…

It was an honor to toss out the first pitch at today's game for our hometown team, Oakland @Athletics. It is another reminder of how much it means to keep the A’s in Oakland. Let’s play ball! ⚾️ #TheTown
